Cedar is one of the smudge sticks that the indigenous people of America have used for centuries.

It is used in rituals, purification ceremonies and brings balance. It purifies people, animals, things and places, and also has the ability to attract positive energies and good spirits.

First, light the smudge stick, and when it is on fire, blow it out, as you only need to use the smoke. Always start by cleansing yourself first, by spreading the smoke from the bottom up. Then all rooms, i.e. all door frames, window frames and all other places where there is an entrance to the home. And then say something like:

'Only light, love and spirituality are welcome here'

and it is done in every room. Once you have done it the first time, it is just a matter of keeping it up. It can be anything from once a week to once a month depending on what you feel like.

If your smudge goes out, just turn it back on and continue, don't leave it on a flammable surface afterwards, use it with care and don't let children use it.
